Trusted Solaris Installation and Configuration

Recommendations for the Trusted Solaris Environment

On all systems, for audit records...

-- Create at least one audit partition named /etc/security/audit/workstation_name.

On a system that will run the Solaris Management Console to administer the site...

-- Provide at least 256 MB of memory. Provide swap space.

On all systems, for users who can assume a role...

-- Create sufficient swap space. Swap space that is double the size of the workstation's memory is a good rule of thumb.

On a system that will be the home directory server...

-- Create an /export/home partition large enough for the users' home directories.

On a system that will not be a home directory server...

-- Create a small /export partition to hold some temporary configuration files. It also serves as a mount point.
